Excellent Course. Understanding human behavior is one of the most difficult challenges in an organization. This course describes the challenges well and offers approaches to tackling those challenges.

Really enjoyed the cases studies throught the weeks and well having the pdfs for taking notes. The final notes on management and decision making will be on my note list for work reflection for sure.

I really liked the way the professors explain this subject which i ve never heard before, I mean all of us know human resources and their tasks but not all the studies and the thoery concerning the management of the individuals.

While the case studies in the course are quite interesting, a lot of improvements can be made... I feel the effort from the professors can be greater when I compare this course to the previous two courses in the specialization.

This was an interesting course with lots of useful information. However, especially Professor Useem's lectures occasionally felt rambling rather than carefully presented. More careful scripting would have been great here.

I found the course fascinating. I wish we had more information and longer videos.
Also, I would have liked the video transcripts to have been edited before passing on to students. So many mistakes and misspellings.

Good info, a bit vague in terms of what needs to be deeply absorbed, and what is simply examples.
The last guy took a bit long to get to his points, but overall the two were pleasant to listen to, and intelligent.

Much of the content is too anecdotal, but in a good way. Thus the four stars. However, more detailed coverage of the points on the slides, or at least more references for further study, will improve the course.

Overal this course is quite useful to me, and I think it will be better if we can go into more details of current workplace examples, such as the success and failed stories of leading organizational changes.

Faculty were quite articulate in explaining ideas and the content was also at par. Would help if there was more focus on Social Capital and more real life examples on disruptive org structures in start ups.

Very good quality content with a lot of real-life examples. Although I have seeked more evidence-based ideas to take away. I mean moe theory that could be jused in real life

Could have been more challenging, but overall a worthwhile course. Introduces a great range of ideas with real world case studies. Easy to understand and well presented.

In general a good course with useful content, but lack of good examples and relatively short content compared to other courses of their business foundation specification.

Prof. Useem was difficult to follow. His train of thought kept veering off and I often struggled to find the information he was wishing to convey, unfortunately.

Mr Cappelli's set up of the foundations was engaging and interesting. I especially enjoyed Mr Useem's framing of the content through examples and narratives.

The course was very well presented with practical examples. Hope you will come up with more like this or one program for HR related courses.

Explaining very complicated and boring topics through interesting stories or Case Studies is the best part of this course

The course is interisting, but very focused in US market...should be more international with more global examples.

Some of the "stories" seemed fairly long and it was not always clear how the "stories" linked to theory/theories.

Very Good Course, but 3rd lesson was incomplete and the missing section was not addressed by coursera.
